One who believes in a Messenger and then believes in another Messenger has two rewards. So what about one from this Ummah who believes in all the Messengers? Does he have rewards, given that mere news is not equal to witnessing?

The Shaykh : One who believes in a Messenger and then believes in another Messenger has two rewards. What is your opinion regarding one from this Ummah who believes in all the Messengers? Do they have a reward for that, given that mere news is not equal to witnessing?
No, one from this Ummah who believes believes in one Messenger, but the message of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) includes belief in all the Messengers.
Likewise, the previous prophets: the one who believes in 'Isa is required by his faith to believe in all the previous Messengers. But these people actually believed, meaning they believed in two Shari'ahs, i.e., two Shari'ahs passed over them. Do you understand the difference?
The questioner : Regarding holding fast to faith, belief in these Shari'ahs is valid.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : But the faith of this Ummah is that this...
The Shaykh : Likewise, 'Isa and the Christians believed in all the Messengers who came before them. But two Shari'ahs passed over him; he believed in them, and he did not become fanatical about his first Shari'ah. This is the aspect by which he is given his reward twice: he believed in two independent Shari'ahs that passed over him. Yes.
